Packet 1: Tossup 10

The shooting of this film’s finale caused a traffic jam that was so enormous that Isaac Asimov stopped by to berate its crew. This film’s climax used an exploding 150-pound bag of shaving cream. Nathan drunkenly surprises Caleb by alluding to this film’s oral sex scene in Ex Machina. (15[3])This film’s director admitted that its central montage was cut to Huey Lewis’s “I Want a New Drug,” (15[1])which resembles this film’s theme. (15[2])This film’s (15[1])dialogue (15[1]-5[1])introduced (15[1])the slang notion of (*) “toast” meaning “done for.” Snoring sound effects appear in a Neil Cicierega (“siss-uh-RAY-guh”) track that remixes this (10[1])film’s theme to be about orgasm. Support by Steve (10[1])Buscemi (10[1])and (10[1])this film’s (10[1])fans helped keep the Firehouse, Hook, and Ladder Company 8 running. One of this Ivan Reitman (10[1])film’s protagonists (10[1])is named after Oswald Spengler. For 10 points, name this movie (10[1])with the tagline “who you gonna call?” ■END■
